Photography classes

Sometimes I get emails about my classes... you have been asking, is it right for me? what else can I do to improve my photography? Well... my classes are for beginners. I'm not a "professional" photographer, just a mommy with a camera who loves to take photographs and loves to help other people with their photography. When I get your emails telling me how much one of my classes has helped your photography I know that I'm doing something worthwhile... but a lot of you - my wonderful readers - are not beginners. You know how to shoot in manual mode and you are ready for something more. Hopefully one day I'll have the time and mental energy to write a class for you but for now I thought I'd share a few links with you for some other classes I've found around the blogging community.Disclaimer: I am not making any claims to the quality of these classes, I haven't taken them so I can't vouch for how great or wonderful they may or may not be. Also just thought you'd like to know that I am not being compensated for posting these links in any way.
